So, the Beeb says "at least 9 people killed" but Al Jazeera say "at least 19 killed and 36 wounded".
What is clear is that the "attack" was in international waters. So what the fuck were the Israeli's doing attacking there in the first place?
Pinning my colours to the mast, I've long considered Israel to be a state emboldened by western support. It knows it's a lynchpin of western political aims and gets away with all sorts of shit that no other state would be allowed to.
For example, it's ignored more UN Resolutions than Saddam Hussain ever dreamed of, but knows it'll never get spanked for it. They'd have to lob a nuke somewhere against the US's say-so for that to happen...
Gah.. In the time it's taken to write this post the I can't find the quote from the beeb about 9 deaths, or the one where the beeb reports someone calling it "state terrorism" - now it says "murder committed by the state"
